Wins needed for 2019 NCAA Bid

Only Regional site UConn can’t end up in is Greenville (ECU):


>>The remaining at-large teams, top-16 national seeds, first-round regional pairings and site assignments will be announced at noon (ET), Monday, May 27. The one-hour program will be shown live on ESPNU. The committee will set the entire 64-team bracket through both the super regionals and the first round of the Men’s College World Series and will not reseed the field after play begins. <<

When was the last time a Northeast team (Maryland and North) hosted a regional? All of the hosts are South or West. Plus, their new field whose only holds 3,500, sits on the otherside fo the river from the WVU campus where student live and is not even in Morgantown. Not sure I would consider West Virginia, which is more culturally a mix of Midwest and South than Northeast.

UConn/Norwich in 2010 is the only recent one I can remember. There have been some mid-west sites over the years.

As far as WVA - it’s their home field if your trying to make an on campus vs off campus point.

I would take Atlanta also. I don't want any part of Athens or Nashville. Georgia and Vandy are both real good.

In the projection -> poor CCSU gets UCLA and Quinnipiac gets Vanderbilt.

Last season Minnesota hosted a regional. Not in the northeast, but certainly northern.
 
You know it doesn't look like it would be big enough, at least as initially built. Then again, the smaller stands would make the crowd look better on TV (or internet.)

I don't know enough about the new stadium. So I could be wrong about the prospect of future regionals there.

Given my Pirates will likely be rained out today, nice to see UConn/Cincy game is on ESPNews.

EDIT: Well, I thought I could watch it, but turns out ESPNews is a pixellated, sound-less mess. Thanks Verizon!

You own the Pirates?
 

D1Baseball’s final projections has UConn has the #3 seed in the Oxford Mississippi Regional w/ host Ole Miss (projected as the #16 overall nationally seed). The #2 seed is Miami and the #4 is Jacksonville State.

64. Florida

Yup. I don't brag about it because every time I do, people just get pissed off about what a cheap bastard I am.

Can I hit you up for some tickets when the Mets visit in August? I can do it on the down low.

My understanding is that minimum seating capacities to host NCAA events were incorporated during design for baseball & softball stadiums. That should not be an issue. I was part of the initial feasibility study committee; the end product turned out different from the initial concept but being able to host NCAA events was a primary goal/objective.

Don't know what they are looking for for capacity. It's definitely great looking though.

They look for seating capacity of 3k but it is not a hard and fast requirement. UCLA is hosting a Regional and Jackie Robinson Stadium (off campus - home stadium) seats 1800. Minnesota's home field seating capacity for the Regional last year was under 1500.
